Gas-Chromatographic Identification and Determination of the Content of Normalakanes in Fuels for Jet Engines

A new method was developed for the identification and quantitative determination of normal alkanes in jet fuels and kerosene fractions on the basis of simulated distillation. Normal alkanes were identified on the chromatogram by their retention times, and their concentrations were calculated by absolute calibration, the results of which correspond to the results obtained by standard addition and internal standard methods. The developed method is simple and productive and can be carried out using standard analytical equipment.
